To best determine what Timbren or SumoSprings will work best for your 2011 Ford F-150 Raptor it is best to understand you will be using your trucks.
The SumoSprings # SS52GR I find are generally the best for most users. These springs have a 1,500lb capacity at 50% compression. They are rated lighter than the Timbren systems you will find below. If you are only occasionally needing the extra support for your suspension I find these are the most forgiving both when loaded and unloaded. The microcellular urethane tends to absorb more of the road shock rather than bouning like the Timbren rubber springs.
Timbren offers their Standard Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504R and a Active Off-Road Bumpstops # TABSFR1504R kit. The Off-Road bump stops are designed to maximize suspension travel while still providing some support. As they allow for more travel that will give you more suspension sag the Standard system. Both kits have a 3,000lb capacity rating. Personally I find the Timbren are less forgiving when unloaded on bumps but are great when you are always carrying additional weight. These are often better for some of your overlanding rigs that are loaded down with weight.
